They may wear a variety of uniforms and have different areas of expertise, but one quality binds all first responders: They’re the ones who immediately run toward an emergency when the first impulse is to run away.
Their invaluable contributions have been highlighted in recent weeks in the aftermath of the Boston bombings, the ricin-poisoned letters in Washington, D.C., and Mississippi and the explosion at a Texas fertilizer plant.

I just wanted to thank yourself and the city council for their support of the planned CVS Pharmacy. Too many times government gives into the wishes of a few at the cost of the many. Many residents including myself cannot wait for the added convenience a CVS pharmacy will bring. Currently I have to drive all the way to La Grange to fill a prescription because I am not happy with the service that the one pharmacy in Henry County provides.

In the Oct. 3, 2012, Henry County Local Eminence Mayor Drane Stephens wrote an editorial stating:

“It is very unusual for a city our size to only have one pharmacy. Consider Crestwood and Owenton. Both are smaller than Eminence and neither even have as much industry yet both support at least two pharmacies with Crestwood even supporting two large national chain stores. Competition does not kill businesses, it makes them stronger.”

I feel I need to respond to statements made by speakers at the Henry County Democrat Jefferson Jackson Day Dinner, as reported in the Henry County Local.

Jerry Lundergan, father of Allison Lundergan Grimes, said “The Democratic Party of Kentucky has stood by and let the Republicans identify who we are.” No, y’all have done a pretty good job of that on your own. This summer’s Democratic National Convention showed everyone what the Democratic Party stands for.

As of the up and coming 2014, Cook’s Pharmacy/True Value would have been in business for 50 years in our community. I can’t help but think how sad a family business that has had so much influence and been a part of many people’s lives in our community will be coming to an end.

Did you realize that out of the 16 million Veterans who participated in WWII, there are only about 1.5 million still living. The U.S. is losing 800 to 1,000 WWII veterans every day, which means in five years most of the Greatest Generation will be gone.
